Default To spray....or not to spray?

Bit of a dilemma on my hands. I have a 2005 wrx sti wide track blobeye in wr blue. Standard enkei 17" rims in gold however I'm feeling a change is in order. I want to spray them white. But haven't seen any like it. Any suggestions? Any pictures if you've already done it? Also heard many mixed reviews about the plasti dip for wheels. Any suggestions on what to use instead?

Cheers

I have a plasti dip dash, zero chance of it lasting on wheels.

I plasti dipped my track wheels black and they have lasted well, Okay the track might not be as abusive as the salts on the main roads but depending on tread ill run them awhile see how they hold up!
